			 (1) The figures are taken from the section 52 outturn data set for 2004-05. Cash term figures are as reported at 15 June and are subject to change by the local authority.   Notes:  1. Includes: (a) salaries and wages for supply teaching staff employed directly by the school who are covering curriculum release, long term absence, sickness absence and training absence; (b) the cost paid to an agency for teaching staff that have been brought in to cover teacher absence; (c) and the cost of insurance premiums for supply staff less any receipts from supply teacher insurance.  2. Includes only expenditure by LA maintained primary, secondary and special schools. Nursery school expenditure was not collected in full until 2004-05. The comparable nursery school figure for England for 2004-05 was £4.3 million. Central local authority expenditure on supply teachers is not recorded separately and is therefore excluded from this table.
